ratepayers OR taxpayers
Is there any similarity between ratepayers and taxpayers?
Top answer
In the UK the rates are local property taxes, and a ratepayer is someone who pays these taxes, so they are technically taxpayers, but a taxpayer is generally thought of as someone paying nationally (or state) levied taxes such as income tax. In the US a ratepayer is a customer of a public utility company, such as the power company.
